Damn @tim that's an impressive collection.

[Hatter313]

Just stunning. I need to remember to add Carlitos way to my list.

[tim28212]

Truly insane and impressive.

Insane being the operative word. :)

[tim28212]

I appreciate the alphabetisation @Tim, makes it easier to spot the glaring holes in your collection.

The.... glaring.... umm....

;)

(Genuinely though, are there that many titles left out there that you are actively looking for? It can't be many....)

TED 2 and Reanimator just to name 2

[CrossedPete]

Wow @tim your VS collection is quite impressive, couldn’t help but notice a couple doubles in the collection. Pop quiz hotshot you have to get rid of your collection but you can keep ten titles. What are your ten? If any other centenarians want to answer please do I’m truly curious.

@tim: again everything has already been said by the folks before me... Bravo!

wow CP, good question. My top 10? I will have to think about this some.

A recent conversation with @Bez had me completely spinning out - that feeling when you realise there is a major VS want that you didn't even realise.

I have three different LP releases of Dawn of the Dead, yet somehow didn't have the Varese - and I'd have to put that particular LP up in my top five soundtracks which hold so many feels for me, from my early years of starting out with horror films and soundtracks.

Once I realised it was missing from my collection, I immediately set about rabidly attempting to track down a copy, and wouldn't you know it turns out to be fairly thin on the ground! Eek. I was starting to think I'd have to swallow the cost of snagging one from the US, but then I lucked upon a copy with a reasonable starting bid on Ebay. And managed to get it as only bidder, for the starting price!

Turned up this morning and despite the best efforts of the fool who packaged it in bubble wrap and stiff brown paper (oh good grief) the sleeve was still in shrink and almost mint! The lp has some scuffs but nothing that looks to be too serious, going to spend the afternoon cleaning/spinning it and maybe tackling a wee Comparison Corner :D

Super happy right now!

AND, just in case you didn't know, you have the "Red" lettering on back cover. Which is rarer than the standard black lettering on back cover.
The red is also 140g as opposed to the stranded black 160g.

I have the more common black 160g edition.

[Hatter313]

That’s been the curse of this thread, realizing VS put something out that you didn’t even think about and adding to the list. That’s a nice copy of dawn

I never knew there were two versions. I’ll have to check mine when after work.

Congrats @scojo the VS version sounds great. I too have copies of the WW and Dagored Versions. I always really liked the cover of the Dagored version but nothing beats the iconic cover.

It was just brought to my attention about a year ago when I posted a spinning pic on another page and someone asked me about the lettering on mine. Up till then I was oblivious. :)

[CrossedPete]

The things you learn. That’s why this feed is the best. Does anybody know any other variants on other titles? I only know one about NOTLD and the center labels. One version is green and one is the standard red colour. I’m sure there are more

I did note that @Tim, though not sure how much 'rarer' the red lettering sleeve is/was - mine is the 1979 pressing, but there is also another Varese pressing (with red lettering on rear sleeve, year unknown) which has black labels! Wild.

[tim28212]

that black label is pretty cool. Quite a few variations out there for the completist. :)

Edit: I've also decided that my original black lettering is more rare since it seems like all the other editions have the red lettering. :D

Phantasm has two different labels. one has the spheres faded into the red label, the other has regular silver on red VS labels

Didn’t know that, something else I’ll have to check after work. I know you just got your copy which one do you have?

Nice. I’m pretty sure I have the standard label but I’ll have to double check.

The score Phantasm is such a fun listen. It has to be in my top ten for sure

[Hatter313]

agreed, phantsam, score and film, is one of those special properties.

[CrossedPete]

Just checked my copies of Phantasm and DotD. I have the Sphere label for Phantasm and Dawn of the Dead is written in red on the back and has a red label.

I don't know who in here is bidding against me on Raw Deal but you need to quit. :)
